Stand Tall

Be brave today. Stand tall even if your insides feel weak, because I’ve got your back and I know the outcomes will turn out well. Bravery comes when you decide to not give in to doubt and forge ahead, regardless of appearances or worry. Whatever happens, I will fashion it eventually into something Good, so go forth with confidence today. Together, we’ve got this.

Actions that Stem from My Heart of Love

BE LOVING. It’s that simple! Although I get it, – it’s not always easy to do, – especially when your feelings have been hurt. Ask for My help to soften your heart toward those who have offended you or let you down. I can heal all sorts of wounds – both physical and emotional. Every day you look more radiant to Me as you practice learning to love deeply. Forgiving and moving on, offering grace to others, – these are all actions that stem from My heart of Love, which is embedded in you. Trust your gut on when to use boundaries or when to ease up and let down your guard. I will help you determine which thing to do so that glimpses of My kindness can be seen in the world. You are My vessel for love.

Release the Pressure to Fix It

I know your innate truth and worth. Deep inside you are the epitome of compassion. It’s because you care so deeply about others that you also get so worked up at times. Let’s work on channeling this passion for helping others with their wellbeing into more constructive focus. You don’t have to be working harder than them. Work on recognizing when you are doing so, trying to control or channel other’s decision-making. Release those who are simply unable or not ready to make better choices on their own. I know how disappointing this is for you to watch, and how you agonize over others poor life management, but hand your disappointment and your wishes for them over to Me. Trust Me to work on it while you take a break to recuperate. You can trust My loving oversight of all things, releasing the pressure to fix it yourself.

Move Into the Passenger Seat

All is well. Even in times that feel chaotic and busy, this can still be a foundational truth. The true bottom line is that I am in control, and I make all things work together unto Good. Sometimes you have to move over and let Me drive, though. Life could be easier for you if you allowed yourself to rest comfortably in My passenger seat. Don’t be mistaken by thinking you have to plan for and control everything all the time. Try the ride from the passenger seat today and see what I mean.

Step Back and Be Calmed

When you find yourself in a place where you are super worked up about something, it is probably time to step back. Remove yourself and check your thoughts to see if you are being tripped up by thinking “it’s all up to me” to handle or fix or address. That simply isn’t true. I am your God. I am sovereign over all things. Step back until you can see and be reminded of this deep truth: that as your God, I am with you and looking out for you. Maybe I only need you to show up and offer your presence, because I’ll handle the rest. Leave any “fixing” up to My capable hands. I want you to find peace again, not living agitatedly with anxious and stress-filled approaches. Step back, breathe, and be calmed by how I am at work in your life.

Important Work To Be Done

I have important work to be done through you, but you don’t bear this responsibility alone. Find the joy in the interactions scattered throughout your day. Take it easier in your head. You don’t have to succumb to feeling so pressured all the time. Make it your aim to go lightly through the day ahead instead of with heavy-laden, plodding steps. Put the bounce back in by not worrying so much about outcomes. I’ll take care of that part.

In Doable Increments

You can try to look beyond the horizon, but you won’t be able to see it. That’s because I don’t intend for you to worry about future things. The field and the forests right in front of you are plenty to take in for now. Picture Me clearing a path through the density of all this activity going on in your life. See how it unfolds, just a little bit at a time. You don’t have to cover more ground than what is right in front of you. Things can wait. Trust that I have it all laid out in doable increments, then concentrate on just taking one step at a time. There is no need to run down this path, either. Take your time, and it will all be covered eventually as you stay on track with Me.

When Life Feels Hectic

Pushing the pause button to spend time with Me is the very best thing you can do when life feels worrisome or hectic. Truly, stop everything and talk to Me. Listen for My loving, reassuring voice reminding you, “I’ve got this”. Everything is not all up to you alone. I am here, and I have your destiny capably in My hands. Breathe a sigh of gratitude and relief, knowing you can trust Me and rely on Me for help.

Joy, Not Drudgery

Take delight in the tasks before you today,  one at a time. Picture that I’ve laid out a “good” day for you, with things you like to do and can feel a sense of accomplishment in. I desire your joy, not drudgery. I prefer seeing your enthusiasm and optimism after so many years of sadness, anger, anxiety, and hurt. Remember, I am a loving God, continually making things new. I gather goodness out of the dust and ashes. Your encouraging spirit serves you and others well. Take heart, for I am truly with you and the desires of My heart are not different than your own. Don’t let fear or anxious anticipation of worst-case-scenarios grip you. Keep your grasp on My right hand as we move forward.

Don’t Let Anxiety Seize You Up

Come to Me now, even when you are lacking in motivation. I have things I’d like you to take care of. You don’t have to let anxiety seize you up. If you can recognize when you are overwhelmed, turn to face Me first instead of giving in to panicking and freezing up. I will help you take on one thing at a time. Easy does it. Remember, you don’t have to do it all, and you don’t have to do it all by yourself. Let Me do the heavy lifting, giving you things you can manage. Let’s take one thing off the pile and start there. Before you know it, the day will have passed and enough things will have been accomplished. My help is trustworthy.
